This compound is primarily used in research settings to study its pharmacological effects, particularly its interaction with neurotransmitter systems such as dopamine and serotonin. It serves as a reference standard in analytical chemistry for identifying and quantifying similar substances in forensic and toxicology studies. Researchers also explore its potential behavioral and physiological impacts in controlled experiments to understand its mechanisms of action. Its usage is strictly limited to scientific investigations due to its psychoactive properties and regulatory restrictions.
